Questions about buying my stuff
I am getting a lot of questions, so I will attempt to figure it out
Hi Everyone, this is an email about how to buy my stuff, because people are asking for t-shirts and playing cards and prints. The only way I could satisfy people’s requests for all these different things (in small quantities) would be to sign up for printify or some other site like that, and take my chances with having it deleted, and possibly even getting doxxed, so, I’m just not sure it’s worth the risk. (If anyone is having good luck with these sites, let me know).
So that limits me, for the time being, to what I can make in my house. So I have been printing these little portraits as collectible stickers, they aren’t really meant to be stuck anywhere, they are meant to be hoarded by you, forever, or traded with other members of the sticker club. I will also be giving them away at events I attend.
In order to keep me motivated, but not-too-pressured, to crank them out, I set it up as a monthly subscription, for $10 you get three stickers a month mailed to you. You can sign up and cancel if you only want one particular month’s selection. Here is the link to the Sticker Club.
Eventually I would like to upgrade my printer, and then I could offer these as “fine art prints”, I suppose. But do you really want a portrait of Ol’ Wax My Balls to hang on your wall? Do you REEEEEALLY want it on a t-shirt? How about just some stickers for now? :-)
If I’m missing some obvious marketing opportunities please someone tell me, because I would love to be earning money from this stuff, so I can spend more time making it.

I think having a subscription service that gives users access to high resolution images of things like the zine or the things you have on your Instagram would be a good way to monetize your work so you can keep producing it. Subscribers could download and spread it (tuck copies into library books, leave them in public bathrooms, etc.). The more comprehensible to people who aren't already living in our world, the better.
I don’t want you to be in any danger. I wish there were sites that allowed this considering what the tra’s are allowed to print.
